yahbut - referring to a countertop made of edge/vertical grain strips as a
butcherblock is akin to referring to all bicycles as Penny Farthings, or to
all chairs as ottomans. The common everyday wooden countertop reimagined or
rebranded as the now nearly obsolete specialized commercial installation -
weird.
